More Weed, Less Booze? Researchers Examine Which Way Consumption Goes.

Does cannabis use lead to more drinking, or to less?

The answer to that question has been as elusive as the chicken or the egg quandary.

Some studies suggest that people who consume cannabis are likely to drink alcohol more frequently and in greater quantities. According to other research, people sometimes swap margaritas or mugs of beer for cannabis, leading to less drinking.
